Hi!  Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and my hope is to gain your trust and build rapport.  I provide therapy in a non-judgmental space to help facilitate this.  I embrace “to be flawed is to be human,” and with this will focus from a Strengths perspective in our work together.  My role is to help empower you to use your positive character traits to shift towards the change you want to see in life.  I will incorporate mindfulness practice as well as components of Person-centered therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy and CBT to guide you in your therapeutic journey.  My only requirements to work together are honesty and an open-mind.  I thoroughly enjoy working with adults and adolescents, including those struggling with substance abuse issues.

Between growing up in Marietta and North Carolina, I found a passion for helping others.  I’ve always enjoyed helping friends by listening and helping comfort them while formulating solutions too.  I relished (and still do) any time outside, finding this as a sanctuary as well as a healing place when adversity appeared.  Being able to help others through life’s challenges enriches me.  Allow me to help you!

If you catch me outside the office, more than likely I will be (or on my way to) running, playing tennis or hiking.  I believe balance is important in daily living, so don’t be surprised to see me laughing or joking either (including in our sessions), it comes with loving what you do!
